Plain English Translation

An interactive LED display system includes a control terminal, multiple LED modules, unit information acquisition systems, interactive sensors, and interactive effective induction systems. The system detects and processes user interactions to dynamically adjust displayed scenes. Interactive sensors generate induction values, which are read by the interactive effective induction systems. These systems determine if the induction values indicate an interactive event (e.g., touch) by comparing them to preconfigured thresholds, including interactive effective and noise thresholds. If an interaction is detected, the system updates its status to "touch" and starts a timer; if not, it remains in a "non-touch" state. The unit information acquisition systems collect and store the status data from the induction systems. The control terminal reads this data and transmits the appropriate display scene to the LED modules, which then render the scene based on the interaction data. The system continuously updates induction thresholds and filters noise to ensure accurate interaction detection. This method enables real-time, responsive LED displays that adapt to user input.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a display method involving unit information acquisition systems that interact with interactive effective induction systems.

The unit information acquisition systems are initialized upon power-up, executing pre-configured programs to distribute output acquisition interrupts and establish communication pathways based on current demands. After setup, the systems enter a static power-down mode, conserving energy while waiting for interrupt triggers. When an interactive effective induction system changes its output status, the acquisition system captures the change, processes the interrupt, and records the updated status data in memory. The system then returns to power-down mode until another interrupt occurs. If the control terminal requests communication, the acquisition system wakes up, processes the request, and reports address data containing interactive effective information. If no further interrupts are detected, the system returns to power-down mode, ensuring minimal power consumption while maintaining responsiveness to status changes and external requests. This method optimizes energy efficiency and real-time data reporting in interactive display environments.
